    Looks amazingly convincing, but you did a awesome job pointed out the tell tale details to spot a fake, great video Christopher, yeah this looks too good, I would be duped if I didn't know also😅

      Yeah it’s a very convincing as a real Pop. Especially out of the box you can’t really tell. A lot cheaper than spending $800 on the real thing. Thanks so much for watching Eric! I appreciate the continued support brother! 🙏🏻👊🏻🤟🏻

    I have seen that website before too, and I agree that their prices are far too low to be genuine. I have considered buying one of their Holographic Darth Maul as it is the only Funko Pop! Star Wars figure that I am missing, and I agree that their fakes look very good, they copy the originals very well, but I would always know that it was a fake, so haven’t done it myself. Appreciate seeing one of these, thank you Christopher.

    At the end of the day they’re all vinyl figures, I have seen people pay crazy prices for customized pops or 3d printed pops for far more than retail. This one looks amazing for a fake! Great video!

    • @SeriouslyStarWars
      @SeriouslyStarWars  Před 3 měsíci

      You’re not wrong. A lot of custom made pops go for twice what I paid for the Rex! I have no plans on selling my collection and when it comes time to get rid of my collection I’ll be fully transparent about this one being fake. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻

      It’s definitely worth getting for your own personal collection! It’s still a damn good fake! Check out the latest episode of the Star Wars Popcast, I compared my fake to Ricky’s (Pop The Bounty Collector) real Rex! You can barely tell the difference. Thanks for checking out the video!

      @cmsmokes3938 good to know. I may look on Ali Express to see what else is on there. I’m not spending $600-$800 on the real thing. I have no intention of selling the fake so I think buying the knock off is fine!

    OK, so I am much less angry with you for burning that box lol. I'm half tempted to pick one up as there is no way on EARTH I'll pay $800 for a Funko, as much as I love Rex and would like to have it. Something about his helmet looks cheap. Idk what it is, the type of plastic maybe?

    • @SeriouslyStarWars
      @SeriouslyStarWars  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Good to hear you’re not as angry with me now! 😂 It’s definitely an option for people who can’t afford or don’t want to spend $800 for the real thing. As for the helmet looking cheap I’m not sure. Could be the gloss finish. Thanks for watching Aaron!

    Even if you buy a fake Funko Pop only for you collection and not with the intention of selling it, I think it is still wrong to buy it with the purpose of having it in your collection because you are encouraging the counterfeit market. The more people like you buy it, the more they make fake pop that will flood the secondary market. To me, you be better to just accept the fact that you will not have the real item than you support a seller that is selling counterfeit item.

    • @SeriouslyStarWars
      @SeriouslyStarWars  Před 3 měsíci

      I think the secondary market is already flooded with fakes, and I’m positive there’s a bunch of collectors who have a fake pop and don’t even realize it. I didn’t purchase this fake pop with the sole intention to have it in my collection, that was only part of the reason. I did want to make people aware of what to look for when looking for the original. Now that Rex showed up in the Ahsoka series and we got the 2nd ever Rex Funko in the 2-pack with Pong Krell I think a lot of people will want to try and get the OG Rex. I appreciate you checking out the video!
